    Considering that I have a body that for various reasons makes me worried that the danger is increased more than average in my case—for example, my hips turn inward more than average, and can’t turn outward as much as most people can—I’d probably prefer my husband to do it, especially since he’s healthier in general than me.

    1) I'm scared of pain when birthing, but I wouldn't be against it.
    2) my pain tolerance is high enough for me to need to roll on the bed for a couple of days every cycle
    3)4) I like children, so I would be likely to want to get closer to them, but I'd like equal responsibility. my mum always told me how hard it was to take care of me while my dad worked.

    It probably has some strange scientific term, but seahorses are called males even when they give birth, dont remember why.
    In this case the male/female is probably distinguish by your sex in the past life (the poll said you are transmigrated) and maybe by whether you look male or female.

    To answer to the poll wuestions, I have terrible fear of blood and pain, so i would hate to give birth (i dont understand how women would want to). So if we wanted kids I would probably beg my spouse to give birth, though if they didn't want to i would be fine with no kids (dont want em that much) or adopting

    Oh man! If only this were real! I'd be able to give my mom blood related grandkids!

    1. Would you or your spouse volunteer to give birth?
    Hahahaha, not me- No Way.
    Him/her or the highway, baby.

    2. How is your pain tolerance?
    Actually not so bad, it's just the knowing that gets to me. I cry more out of knowing something painful is coming than the actual pain.

    3. Suppose that the party who gives childbirth will inevitably end up having a closer bond to the infant baby afterwards. Would this influence your desire/repulsion towards having the baby?
    If they get the baby, I want the dog.

    4. Would you want you or your spouse to play a bigger role in taking care of an infant? Or equivalent?
    Equivalent, actually I'd be willing to do all the drudge work if they gave birth for me. Our child's not going to grow up spoiled either, so I guess I'd also take bad parent too :blobrofl:

    :blobdrool:

    Brave tiger. I'll be in the viewing room as ya'll both have a go at squeezing a watermelon out of a small hole. :blobpopcorn_cool:

    1. for the me right now, i would want my spouse to give birth. But, if i was born and raised in that world then i would probably volunteer.
    2. I think my pain tolerance is pretty good
    3. I think it wouldn't. Whether the kid is closer to my spouse or me doesn't matter. It's not like it's a competition, and i wouldn't want to sour our relationship just because of that.
    4. I would see who does a better job. If i am better at taking care of the kid then i would want to play a bigger role and vice versa

    I dunno if I’m weird, but I’m definitely on the yes pregnancy side. I’d want it because in my head it’s sort of a phenomenon of human life, and kind of also something that our species (and ancestors) have done for billions of years — and sort of amazing or awe-striking in a way.

    Maybe I’m more attracted to it because I’m not sure if I’ll be able to have my own :blobcry: So there’s that psychology thing of missing something more in the absence.

    And I’ve also heard that carrying a child for 9 months is an irreplaceable bonding experience for the mother/child — so I think about that too.

    I mean, yeah, it’s terrifying. It’s painful and I know it like destroys the mother’s body, but I feel like I’m not afraid of pain. But then again, I would say I’m not really afraid of death either, and morbid things are my favorite things. XD The biological changes (weakened abdominal wall, prolapse, etc.) give me the most pause, actually.

    But I would want it, although I guess that’s just me.

    Dont really want to have children, too many kids up for adoption. Also my honor from earth would stop me from bearing children.

    ...yah, I didnt even think about that.
    But the rules included making it equally painful as for the regular birthgiving gender, so that 'd be dealt with... somehow!!

    :aww:*nod nod*

    I dont know if thats for all mothers, but even if, through staying healthy, you can do a lot of difference~
    ...though, in a serious case, that probably isnt enough? *headtilt*

    Also, it's probably not jusz you. I doubt thr human race could survive if it were xD

    Giving birth is not a Hallmark of being biologically female. It has everything to do with what gamete is produced by the body (basically egg or sperm).

    1. Either works. Would much prefer if it's not me.
    2. Medium-high.
    3. It doesn't matter to me. The kid is still mine, even if I didn't physically bleed for him.
    4. Equal.
    Yeah, seahorses come to mind for male pregnancy. Not sure if there's any other.

    To each their own, I admire youe dedication. All women who plan to give birth and are informed of what go into it ARE awe inspiring. They know exactly what's going to happen to them, but do it anyway. Those people are most deserving of children in my opinion, so I think you'll make an amazing parent.

    I rather thought that not having children is the odd thing though, but maybe that's just the area I live in. :p

    1. Im mentally preparing for it rn so i guess i want to do it
    Just like @Effugium if i was raised there i might think differently, like wanting my partner to do it or deciding to do it in turns
    2. Ehm not sure. Im a wimp, but tolerance wise is okay. Expecting the pain is what makes it worse tho
    3. It probably would because im competitive :blobsweat_2:
    4. Equal amt! My husband should be close with the baby and should do his share of taking care of the baby!
    The traditional female at home male at work scheme is no longer fully applicable anyway, so if both are at work, both should be at home

    Assuming I had a spouse is hard... There is something really wrong here... I don't know how it could have happened... Or what is going on... The best I can think of... I just sort of woke up and found out I had somehow inadvertently gotten married to someone... but... who? why? seriously... how?

    But... If were going to have a kid... then... who ever she is, she must be some rather dominant personality, and all this having a kid stuff must be her! and I am just the wimp who couldn't find a way to say No! strongly enough... no other way to explain this... :rolleyes:

    1. I don't think I would volunteer to give birth... But if my unknown spouse has managed to push me this far... I don't know... What could she do? :eek:

    2. I don't know... I don't recall many physically painful experiences that would give me any real ideas...

    3-4. Don't know... I have never seriously contemplated having kids... Its not realistic prospect... so... no... I don't know...
